Welcome to the clinic of the future. At least that’s how Dr. David Stark refers to Lab100, which sits in New York City’s Upper East Side.

Stark is the director and creator of Lab100, a joint effort between Mount Sinai’s research institute and Cactus design studio which serves as a hybrid clinic and research lab.

Lab100 gives patients a comprehensive health risk assessment and biometric screening. The goal is to empower patients to track their health over time and to learn how their behavior and lifestyle are impacting their health in a very tangible way.

“This comes from the notion that health is more than just the absence of disease, it’s a whole continuum,” Stark told Business Insider. Prevention and health upkeep is just as important as diagnosing, screening and treating disease.

But an elevated physical check-up is just one product to come out of this design experiment.

“Lab100 today, this location that you’re in right now, this is still a prototype,” said Stark. Beyond the functions of being a clinic and a data collection point for research, Stark sees Lab100 as this live-care environment that can be used to drive new product development — new diagnostics, new therapeutics, new tools for measuring health, and ultimately, new care models and new services and ways of practicing healthcare.

Business Insider took a tour of Mount Sinai’s Lab100, dubbed by its creators as the “clinic of the future.” Here’s what you can expect if you schedule a visit.

“In order for Lab100 to work, we had to put the patient at the center of the design process,” said Noah Waxman, the founder of Cactus, a design studio which helped create …read more

Scientists have found a way to calculate your risk… A new genetic test which can test how likely a person is to contract serious conditions like heart disease and diabetes has been developed, according to a study published by scientists at the Broad Institute and Harvard on Monday in Nature Genetics. This test screens for multiple genes that are implicated in common diseases and gives patients a personalized risk score. The scientists are working to create a website where patients can upload their genetic data and get a risk score. For now, the scientists will provide the test free of charge. Scientists at Harvard and the Broad Institute have…

The 35 cities in the US with the biggest influx of… MagnifyMoney looked at the 100 largest US metros to determine the "biggest boomtowns" in America. In these up-and-coming cities, population and housing, workforce and employment opportunities, and business are booming. Texas cities took up one-third of the top 15 metros, with Austin taking the top spot. If you're looking for an up-and-coming city with a growing business scene, you won't find popular destinations like New York City or Los Angeles on any list. Rather, Texas and parts of the Mountain region are taking over and considered the "biggest boomtowns" in America. That's according to MagnifyMoney, which looked at the 100…
